Rae Crowther Motion Tackler with S Pad
Description
The Rae Crowther Motion Tackler is a revolutionary football tackling sled designed to bring dynamic, game-like repetitions to every practice. Unlike static sleds, the Motion Tackler actually moves - allowing a coach to push, angle, and redirect the sled as a player approaches, simulating the unpredictable movement of a live ball carrier. The S1 Pad features a realistic head, torso, waist, and knee representation that teaches proper tackle form from approach to finish.
Built for varsity programs and serious coaching staffs, this sled is engineered to develop disciplined, technically sound tacklers. The patented brake mechanism engages on contact, preventing the sled from rolling back into the coach and allowing the player to drive the sled all the way to the ground - exactly how a real tackle is executed. Available in five pad colors to match your program's identity.
Key Features
- Dynamic Movement: Coach can push, angle, and redirect the sled in real time to simulate a live ball carrier's movement.
- Adjustable Pad Angle: Coach can angle the S1 Pad down mid-drill to simulate a ball carrier lowering their pad level before contact.
- Patented Brake Mechanism: When the player lifts the S Pad on contact, a simple brake engages - stopping the sled from rolling back and letting the tackler drive it to the ground.
- S1 Pad Design: Represents the head, torso, waist, and knees of a ball carrier for realistic contact geometry and proper form development.
- Ear-to-Ear Technique Training: The S Pad helps tacklers practice eliminating space to the ball carrier and proper head placement.
- Lightweight and Maneuverable: At 212 lbs, the sled is easy for a coach to move and redirect during drills.
- Powder Coated Steel Frame: Finished in powder-coated black for durability and weather resistance.
- Dual Pad Options: Choose between S1 (standard) and S2 pads - S2 adds arms and a chest plate, lowering the effective contact point by approximately 2 inches for added difficulty.
- Color Options: Pad available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red, and Green to match team colors.
- U.S. Patented Design: Protected under U.S. Patent # 6,988,965 B2 and Patent # 6,942,585 B1. Model: MTV6.

Why You'll Love It
The Rae Crowther Motion Tackler has earned its place on practice fields at every level of competitive football. Coaches trust it because it puts the athlete in game-like situations - no two reps are exactly the same, which builds the reactive tackling instincts that static sleds simply cannot develop. The patented brake system means every rep finishes correctly, reinforcing complete, full-effort tackles every single time. Built tough with a powder-coated steel frame and tested through seasons of high-volume use, this sled is engineered to hold up year after year. Whether you're coaching at the high school or collegiate level, the Motion Tackler gives your staff a tool that directly translates to better form and fewer missed tackles on game day. It's the kind of equipment that becomes a cornerstone of your tackling program.

FAQ
What is the difference between the S1 and S2 pads?
The S1 Pad features a head, torso, waist, and knee profile representing a ball carrier's body. The S2 Pad adds arms and a chest plate, which lowers the player's effective contact point by approximately 2 inches and adds a considerable amount of difficulty to the drill. This listing includes the S1 Pad. The S2 version is available separately.
How does the brake mechanism work?
When a player makes contact with the sled and lifts the S Pad, it engages a simple built-in brake that stops the sled from rolling back toward the coach. This allows the tackler to drive the sled all the way to the ground, completing the tackle correctly every rep - just like in a game situation.
Can a coach actually move the sled while the player is approaching?
Yes - that is the core feature of the Motion Tackler. A coach can push the sled toward the player, change its angle, or redirect it as the player approaches. The coach can also tilt the S Pad down to simulate a ball carrier lowering their pad level. At contact, the coach can continue to hold and provide resistance, or simply let go and let the player finish the tackle.
Is this sled appropriate for youth or high school programs?
The Motion Tackler is built for varsity-level programs - high school, college, and professional use. At 212 lbs, it is a substantial piece of equipment best suited for older, more physically developed athletes. Please consider athlete size and strength before use with younger players.
How is the Motion Tackler shipped?
Due to its size and weight (212 lbs), the Motion Tackler ships via freight carrier. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery estimate and to confirm shipping logistics to your facility.
